Norberto Font y Sagué

Norberto Font y Sagué (17 September 1873 – 19 April 1910) was a Spanish geologist, speleologist, naturalist and writer.

With the sponsorship of the Centre Excursionista de Catalunya, he carried out a survey that allowed him to draw up the Speleological Catalogue of Catalonia.

On the initiative of Font and Sagué, the large stone mammoth that exists in the Park of the Citadel of Barcelona was placed in December 1907.

At that time, the Board of Natural Sciences was strengthened and the intention was to reproduce in stone all the great extinct species.

Other works by Font y Sagué were Pictures of the Sahara, The Geological Formation of the Rio de Oro, Spanish Sahara, Course on Dynamic Geology and Stratigraphy Applied to Catalonia (1905), History of Natural Sciences in Catalonia, from the IX to the XVIII Century (1908) and The Biblical Flood According to Geology (1909).
